Questions & Answers (116)
Ask a questionHi, just want to check with you whether you offer transfer service from Ha Long to Ninh Bing after the cruise's tour as we want to continue our trip from there. Thank you.
Dear Jacquelyn Chan, You are correct indeed that we do provide the transfer bus from Halong - Ninh Binh at 18USD/person. Regards, Phoebe
May I ask about the shuttle bus service? Is it possible to go from the airport to the port on the first day, and then from the port to the city on the second day?"
Dear Erica, I wish to advise you that if you wish to go from the Airport to the Cruise pier, we can help to provide the Private transfer option. We highly recommend you should take the flight if you land Noi bai at around 7.00 - 8.00 Am or Cat Bi at around 10.00 Am. Later time might cause late checkin for the tour. On the way back, our sharing bus can help to drop you off back to Old Town. Regards, Phoebe

The tour was interesting. There were a bunch of activities. The Surprise Cave was magnificent. The kayaking through the cave was fun. The view from the mountain on Titop Island was breathtaking. However, it was quite crowded.
My family chose 1 night tour. The program was a bit jam-packed but we never regret the experience. The view was amazing. The activities were varied with kayaking, swimming, hiking, visiting a cave, cooking class, squid fishing, etc. Recommend everyone to book 2 nights to have a more relaxing time.
We chose Halong Bay because of the view from Titov Island and it was the best choice. The excursions were all fantastic (although it was a bit crowded). Kayaking through the cave was fun. The food was okay. The staff was super kind. Overall a nice trip.
My family had 1 night on Athena Cruise. The ship was a bit dated but clean. The cabin was comfortable. The food was abundant.
Many activities. The island and the cave were exceptional. Kayaking was nice but a bit crowded. The food was plentiful and tasty.
We had a nice time with my family. A memorable tour. The staff was the best!
A great variety of food but the quality could be improved. The activities were excellent but a bit rushed.
The ship was nicely furnished. We enjoyed a lot of food and it was so yummy. The tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful.
The trip to the island and the cave were excellent!
Excellent view! We had 1 night trip. The Executive Suite was large and beautiful. The food was top-notch. The staff could not be more helpful. Thanks a lot.
The view was spectacular. We took a lot of photos. The cabin was spacious and fully equipped. Really happy with this trip.
The program was interesting. The activities were a bit too many. Maybe better with more downtime for enjoying the boat and the landscape. The food and drinks were great. Happy Hour was good. We also loved the cooking class. Overall a good experience!
Our group had a memorable trip! The staff took care of our group and went out of their way to meet our needs. My friend's birthday was also very special. The food was amazing. Halong Bay was captivating and calm. Kayaking and hiking were must-do on the trip. Thank you cruise manager Tim and all the other members!
We chose a 2 night tour on Athena Luxury Cruise. The crew was super nice and accommodating. Food was abundant and delicious. We had more time to kayak, enjoy the bay view, and use the facilities onboard. The bay was stunning and 2 nights were recommended!
Such a nice experience! The pick up at our hotel was smooth. The staff warmly welcomed us at the port and assisted us throughout the trip. Food was amazing and they catered to our vegan meal request well. The Executive Suite was roomy and well equipped. The bay was magnificent and we would not hesitate to come back. Thank you for a great time!
5-star service. The cruise manager went the extra mile and made a special trip for us. He was also very knowledgeable and willing to share with us about the bay. The elegant suite was clean and beautiful. Would recommend this boat to our friends.
Welcoming staff. Tasty food. Breathtaking scenery.
